titanic.df <- read.csv(paste("Titanic Data.csv"), sep= ",")
create a table showing the average age of the survivors and the average age of the people who died.
aggregate(titanic.df$Age,by=list(titanic.df$Survived),mean)
## Group.1 x
## 1 0 30.41530
## 2 1 28.42382
run a t-test to test the following hypothesis: H2: The Titanic survivors were younger than the passengers who died.
null hypothesis : there is no significant difference between the average age of people who survived and those do not.
t.test(Age~Survived,data=titanic.df)
##
## Welch Two Sample t-test
##
## data: Age by Survived
## t = 2.1816, df = 667.56, p-value = 0.02949
## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## 0.1990628 3.7838912
## sample estimates:
## mean in group 0 mean in group 1
## 30.41530 28.42382
since the p-value >0.05 we cannot reject null hypothesis. thus there is no significant difference between the average age of people who survived and who didn’t.
